Hot, you'd hate to lose the toss and have to chase. Would still be hot first innings but cool during the second.

Both teams will bat first

Scorchers batting first, really good toss to win on a hot day.

Is it really that bad? It's only 20 overs, test players spend days in the field at that temp.

How much will it cool down in 90 minutes before the Scorchers run out to bowl?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Hardie injured or dropped I wonder.

Was He on standby for the test?

 

[NYRB]

Losing Daniel Sams is a big loss. Hope Thunder can make a game of it but cant see it. Scorchers can defend anything 130+ against them with ther bowling attack

Joel Davies suits our side more I’m over Sams

It wont be the difference between winning and losing but you'd rather be fielding in the cool than while its still hot.

Hardie injured or dropped I wonder.

There’s no way Hardie was being dropped. Especially with Hobson being in the side. Thats a very long tail after Turner

Gonna sound even more like a broken record but why isn’t Eskinazi playing in this case

I thought Jhye Richardson batting at 7 seemed a tad high. I mean a bit like Michael Neser, he can swing the bat, but he ain't a number 7.

Still carrying on about Zampa. Get over it ffs.

His batting has improved and I’d say he’s been more solid than Agar who has been at 7. That said him at 7 would make a lot better sense if we actually had a decent 6. Hobson had one good innings but his continual selection is baffling. I’ve been going on like a broken record on the Eagles board but Stephen Eskinazi who is in the squad is the middlesex captain and a proven domestic t20 player and yet gets left out for a grade cricketer.

 

[ep2018]

I think we'll put up 180ish and the thunder all out ~150.

 

[THE A5]

Someone on the Scorchers fb page saying Hardie is rested. Thats a bloody bold move and might be embarrassing if we go on to lose this game

 

[Aussie_boy]

Joel Davies suits our side more I’m over Sams

So a guy who's never played a game outsuits a guy who plays IPL and for Australia. Interesting.

 

[Kram]

Jonesy looking fantastic in orange.

 

[ep2018]

People on social media are hinting that Sams isn't playing due to it being a 'pride' game, maybe Hardie is the same.

That's just ridiculous. Who comes up with this stuff ahaha

This could be the last time we Faf 'Rig' Du Plessis play in Australia.
